Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 617 Great seal of meritorious officials, Sun Wu refused

At this meeting of the Great Court, Qingji changed the current seats of the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers of Wu.

A special "Guowei", also known as Taiwei, let Sun Wu take up the post.

The remaining three princes are: Dazai Jiran, the head of the hundred officials, assisting King Wu in governing the country.

Grand Sima Wu Zixu, together with Guo Wei Sun Wu, as the highest military and political officer of Wu State, is responsible for managing the country's military affairs and mastering military power.

Fan Li, the royal historian, was mainly responsible for managing books, memorials, and supervising officials.

Under the Yushi doctor, Yushi Zhongcheng and Shi Yushi were set up to impeach all affairs in the court and the palace.

The censor is the censor sent by King Wu to the local counties to supervise the county guards.

Therefore, in terms of authority, the doctor Yushi has more power.

The three princes are all directly responsible for Wu Wang Qingji.

There are two different Sangong teams in Wu State, one is honorary and the other is real power.

However, the official rank is [-] stone, which remains unchanged.

In fact, they don't care much about the salary, the main thing is their status!

Under the Sangong is the Jiuqing. Among the "Nine Qings", the first to bear the brunt are the ad hoc left and right prime ministers, all of whom have an official rank of two thousand stones.

Wen Zhong still served as the Prime Minister of the Left, and Kong Qiu was changed to the Prime Minister of the Right.

Prime Minister Zuo was in charge of the house and assisted Dazai in handling state affairs.

The right prime minister is in charge of foreign affairs, responsible for the country's diplomatic affairs, and at the same time cooperates with government affairs.

In addition, Qingji also increased the status of "Censor Zhongcheng", which is equivalent to Jiuqing.

The original Ting Wei Bo Tong served as Yushi Zhongcheng.

Next is the real "Nine Qings".

Fengchang, in charge of the etiquette of the ancestral temple, has a high status and is the head of the Jiuqing.

Zhu Yong, Qingji's uncle, will be in charge.

Lang Zhongling, in charge of palace guards.

Gou Jian took up the post.

Wei Wei, in charge of the palace gate guards.

Served by Heifu.

The imperial servant is in charge of the imperial horse and state horse affairs.

Served by Shen Xi.

Ting Wei, in charge of judicial trials.

Deng Xi, who is strict with himself and proficient in laws and regulations, will take up the post.

Grand Order, in charge of foreign affairs and tribal affairs.

The original guest Qing Yanghu will be in charge.

Zongzheng is in charge of the affairs of the royal family and clan.

Qingji's other uncle, Jianyu, will be in charge.

Govern millet internal history, in charge of rent, tax, money valley and financial revenue and expenditure.

Served by Zeng Dian.

The Shaofu is in charge of the taxation of mountains, seas, ponds and official handicrafts exclusively for the royal family.

By leaving office.

In addition, Qingji also set up Zhijinwu, with an official rank of two thousand stones, in charge of the defense of the capital, equivalent to the commander of Jinling's garrison.

Meng Ben, who is trusted by Qingji, will be in charge.

Under Guo Wei and Da Sima, there are Zuo Sima Tian Rangju and Right Sima Xiong Zidan...

Now the state of Wu is full of talents, and there are many great talents.

Therefore, Qingji will set up some official positions to retain these great talents and entrust them with important responsibilities.

For example, Fan Li, who has been an internal historian of millet for more than ten years, solved worries and problems for Qing Ji.

Didn't Fan Li want to be an extremely human minister, a Sangong?

No, Fan Li really wanted to, but he couldn't get away.

This time, why couldn't Qing Ji satisfy Fan Li?
We can't wait until Fan Li dies of illness, Qingji or Wu's successor, and then posthumously confer the title of Sangong, right?

……

This time, to celebrate the taboo, all the officials will be feuded, and each will be rewarded. It can be said that some people are happy and some are worried.

However, in general, it is still worthy of the crown princes and officials of the state of Wu to celebrate.

Even if they can't be promoted, they can get a lot of fertile land, treasures, silk, gold and other rewards, making a lot of money.

However, what is unexpected is that Sun Wu, who is the greatest hero and the biggest beneficiary, has objections to Qing Ji's rewarding himself.

"Your Majesty! I don't dare to be 'Shen Jun'. I have to grant the land of Shen, which will not be replaced by hereditary! Please take it back, Your Majesty!"

"Chen, I dare not accept death!"

Sun Wu came out with a wat in his hand, knelt down under the majesty's platform with a "plop", and said loudly.

This made all the ministers of the Wu Kingdom above the court dumbfounded.

Why is this?

One must know that Qingji loves and respects Sun Wu in every possible way.

Sun Wu also lived up to his high expectations. For more than ten years, he has made countless contributions to the state of Wu by governing the army and fighting.

In everyone's opinion, Sun Wu deserves to be named "Shen Jun" and get a hereditary fief...

"Sun Wu, other people wish they could increase their ranks and confer titles on their wives and sons. Why do you go against the grain like this?"

Qingji asked with a meaningful smile.

In fact, that's exactly what happened.

Generally speaking, in the state of Wu, there are only food towns and no fiefdoms.

But there are exceptions, such as Taishi Jizha.

Ji Zha has done a lot of hard work to Qingji and Wu, so Qingji sealed Ji Zha in the state, and no one has any objections.

Now, with Sun Wu's great achievements, it is worth getting a fief, so that Sun Wu's own descendants will benefit endlessly!
"Your Majesty, I know that my merits are shallow, and I dare not accept the title of Shen as a vassal of Wu. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

"In the past, the king entrusted Ji Zi to the state, but Ji Zi has made great achievements in the country, how dare I compare him with Ji Zi?"

How can such Sun Wu not be righteous?

Back in the day, when Ji Zha retreated to the second line, he voluntarily handed over his fief, so as to force the local officials and officials of Wu to follow suit.

It can be said that Ji Zha used the second half of his life, sacrificing the well-being of his descendants, to fulfill Qing Ji, to fulfill the king's career of Wu Kingdom...

Such a Jizha deserves Qingji to leave him a hereditary fief.

It's just a county fief.

The state of Wu now has more than 200 counties, which is not worth mentioning.

Now, for Sun Wu, Qing Ji is not unsealable.

Wu State has a complete twentieth-level military title system.

They are: the first-level public official, the second superior, the third hairpin, the fourth non-changing, the fifth official, the sixth official official, the seventh official official, the eighth male official, the ninth and fifth official, the ten left elders, the eleventh right elders, Twelve left shifts, thirteen middle shifts, fourteen right shifts, [-] young masters, [-] grand masters, [-] chariot masters, [-] master masters, [-] Guan Neihou, and [-] Chehou.

This was originally the military merit title system implemented by Shang Yang during the political reform in history, but it was moved over by Qingji in the same way.

Among all the heroes of the Wu State today, Sun Wu has the highest title, followed by Wu Zixu.

Sun Wu is now a master at the [-]th level, while Wu Zixu is a junior at the [-]th level, and he still has to "climb"...

The further this goes, the more difficult it will be to promote the title of military merit.

Whether the merit of destroying the country can be promoted to one level depends on the number of beheadings and the data of one's own casualties.

And the battle loss ratio!
To be honest, Sun Wu refused Qingji's fief reward in this way, he was not giving face.

Sun Wu was righteous, but it made Qingji feel a little bit embarrassed for a while.

Why is Sun Wu so ignorant of flattery?

Perhaps this is precisely the uniqueness of Sun Tzu's political sense.

Sun Wu may have sensed Qingji's intention to put him on the shelf...
